Length 6484 yards
Slope 125
Rating 70.7

The Links of Lake Bernadette enjoys verdant landscaping and a rolling terrain that are perfectly complemented by mature and towering pines. At 6,400 yards, the golf course is seemingly short but it feels like it plays much longer due to frequent doglegs that can be found throughout. Six of the par 4s play over 400 yards and a few par 3s measure over 200 yards, which also helps the course feel longer. Water hazards and bunkers come into play but they are balanced by large greens and wide fairways that make for easier approaches. Although beginners won't feel out of place and there are four different sets of tees, the golf course boasts several tricky holes that will challenge even the best players. One of these, the 163-yard 13th, was once called the best par 3 in Tampa Bay.

Improved

Improved from last month. This course always seems wet & soft. Tees & fairways were fine, greens were smooth but extremely slow.

Tough track

Lots of doglegs, left and right. The pine tree soar over 50 feet. Undulations in the fairways and the every green had huge breaks besides being small. You'll have sidehill, downhill, and uphills. Short course but you'll need your A-game.

Very Slow pace of play

There is no way a course should allow an 2 1/2 hour back 9. Pace was so slow it was brutal it was not fun to play. I Understand that people are new and dont play well but if I pay $35 there should be an Ranger. I will not play here again and not recommend this course

Greens are slow

The only issue with the course was that the greens were very slow. It looks like the course is having the greens grow longer before cutting. Other than, it was good.

Conditions Deteriorated since the Summer

Played this course half a dozen times this past summer.
The conditions have been getting worse lately.
Several holes are very soggy and wet - has not rained in our area in weeks - so they must be over watering. When your approach shots are plugging on the green - it may be too wet and soggy.
Bunkers are in sloppy conditions filled with foot prints and marks. In a couple of bunkers no one is raking since they do not have a rake around bunker - yet in a couple of holes there are two rakes by the bunker.

The greens really need to be cut. There are several holes where the grass on the green is really thick and makes putting inconsistent.

Conditions along with the recent increase in price (I realize this is a seasonal increase as the temperature improves), my group has decided to remove this course out of rotation.

Maybe if the above items are resolved we can consider coming back.

We always enjoy playing at the "Links"......the greens and fairways are in fine condition.....no issues.....however, sand wand water hazards come into play on certain holes.....could cause problems if you don't hit it straight. Looking forward to returning again someday soon....worth the hours drive from New Port Richey.

Overbooked

I have played this course many times and I enjoy playing here for the value. I had a 930 tee time and it took 2 hours 40 mins just to finish 9 holes.
We waited on every hole and the people in front of us were waiting as well. It wasn’t slow play it was overbooked. I actually got a raincheck for the back 9 since the back 9 was backed up as well. Very disappointing and I hope next time I play it isn’t the same.

Wow

This course used to be pretty nice but the last two years it has really went downhill. Weeds in fairways, greens as slow as I have ever played, course was so wet in places the ball plugs even on chip shots & it hasn’t rained!

Avid Golfer

The greens were like putting on a shagg carpet. Otherwise the course was ok, not terrible for the price.
